Things to see and do at Kirstenbosch Garden

The Botanical Gardens, founded in 1913, lies on an estate that covers 528 hectares and supports a diverse fynbos flora and natural forest. Also featured is the Peninsula Garden, which contains some of the 2 500 plant species, found on the Cape Peninsula.
